When you feel strongly about something and someone disagrees with you or stands in your way, what do you do? We have the tendency to excuse excessive behavior in ourselves in order to get our way and we often justify behavior we know is wrong because of the importance of our cause. Is this ok? Paul addresses this behavior in the passage for today.

Two roads diverge in the path of your life. One path leads to spiritual life and peace, the other leads to spiritual death. There are only two paths from which to choose in life; set your mind on the things of the Spirit.
